first!
Partner up with @carcraftautodetailing, similar older channel that didn't go trip down downward lane, and make good informative content to this day, with quality content, and relaxing too!
That tensioner pulley, the thread being changed from a left to a right hand thread was a big mistake, that thing is going to undo itself now and put a nice dent or hole in the hood, or take some ones face off if they are under the hood when it lets go, it also wasn't straight, so the belt is likely going to keep coming off.
Minus that, cool resto.
That button isn't user friendly... change it to a joystick microswitch under the accelerator (the ones used in arcades). This way it'll engage automatically when someone wants more power, it could be adjusted to the percentage of throttle depending where the switch is mounted under the pedal... I'm not sure if the current switch mechinism uses a relay but this would need one
Y'all killed it! Looks amazing!
Did you find any cubic hairs on the seats?
😂
Classic
Very well done! 😂
Underrated comment
Been laughing for a fat minute at this
It's so satisfying seeing the transformation especially when it's put to sick music. Just throw up that bat signal if you guys ever looking for a hand. ❤
I'm missing the flute
Thanks mate. Love your work as always!
@@mightycarmods hi i got a 1998 TOYOTA RAUM awd but engine need work if interested
I feel like the catch and release series is a practical documentary on exactly why thrashed cars go to the scrappies.
And this is exactly why I have been an MCM subscriber for over 7 years now. Everyone else out there doing high-dollar projects and cars we do love, but most of us can't afford. MCM gives any and everyone confidence that their little nugget can be hopped up and sweetened just like any high-performance car. Keep it up guys, mad love from way across the globe, way over here from Jamaica 🇯🇲.
13:24 the angle on that tap 😂
Glad i'm not the only one who noticed lol, as someone who does that kind of stuff on the daily, it hurts watching it 😂
I came here to see how many others noticed that!
@@driftmonkey3646 samee !
Took awhile to find this comment 😅😅 shows how much people are actually watching 👀👀
@@Vlammenzee same bro I did it for 6 months straight 5 days a week at one point it really hurts to see lol
I love how MCM takes a bottom of the barrel car and turns it into a cultural icon. Keep up the good work lads 👍🏼
Cultural icon? Haha what?
The cube has always been a "cultural icon" in Australia
@@Jacobtheunwise Has it? I don't think I've ever seen one on the road
Go to Japan, people love cubes every generation has a dedicated following. People like weird stuff@@mediocreman2
Now they need to do it to a Tony
The soundtrack is almost always one of the best parts of your epic show, but this one really takes it to perfection. Dusting off Everything I Was absolutely nailed it.
Never stop doing exactly what you guys do. It's the best soundtrack show on the internet, that also happens to be an epic car show.
Thanks mate. We put a heap of effort in making all our own tunes so it’s good vibes when noticed 🙏
@@mightycarmods It's always noticed and appreciated. If I'm just going for a drive on my own I have more than a few of your tunes in the playlist - there's something about them that is just awesome.
@@mightycarmods You're welcome. Thanks for doing what you do. 🙏 I always tell people that you guys are master musicians who happen to make a car show. 🤘
There is probably a good reason for the left hand threaded bolt. You may find out when it winds itself out.
Unfortunately it’s gonna be someone else’s problem… and they might never put 2 and 2 together, unless they watch the vids I guess
what about the angle he ran that tap at?
@@kpopRC It wasn't just me? Yeah, looked pretty dodgy.
@@KEIR-STARMER-666 locktite ain’t perfect - but the red stuff should be sufficient. Problem is that little pulley is spinning 1.5-3x (depending on ratio) than the engine. We’re talking up to 15k RPM - at those speeds nothing will beat a mechanical failsafe..
Yeah, no one uses left handed threads for a laugh.
Got to respect the fact these guys always stick to their roots....nuggety cars. They could easily be out buying crash damaged super cars but they just love a nugget too much. Fair play.
The best part is there are more new nuggets coming that weren't even launched when they started MCM all those years ago. Viva la MCM!
I'd lose interest if they started doing supercars and expensive cars. I was actually pretty worried when they got the Lotus even because I thought, what next, a Porsche? I probably would've unsubbed and left if that happened.
There are already too many channels and tv shows that do high end cars.
Genuinely wouldn't mind if Isaac became the 3rd host of MCM. He fits in nicely.
it's not every day they have a moon buggy or a cubic poo nugget tho
but it's not every day they have a moon buggy or a cubic poo nugget tho
Yea I agree, though he did get fairly bet up in the last video.
He was doing OK until he tapped that thread at a 20 degree angle 😭
@@ferrumignis Lies, it was a fisheye lens because the earth is flat.
All the Oompa Loompa Moogs polishing the Cube was hilarious
Mooga Loompas
Moog - long time follower.................I just wanted you to know, your Channel (you and Marty) are one of the few that I enjoy and feel happy and right after watching. With so much turmoil and thrash in RUclips and elsewhere, you are one of the few places that I can watch and leave smiling......
Thank you both.
"freakin' totes yassified" Moog I laughed so hard I thought I might vom. That was too much.
Loving the multiple episodes per week fellas. Awesome work!!
That thread went in so sloped. :D
Came here to see if anyone else noticed.
Like for Dave!!!! Glad to keep seeing Izak as well. Just want to keep seeing Dave.
I love watching these cars go from bottom of the barrel to actually taken care of and somewhat loved.
Whoop whoop, love this car build. I’ve personally always thought cubes looked super sci fi, think they’re so cool. Timeless design
Yeah, me too, and especially with a bodykit, they look so nice, like if you washed an escalade a bit too hot..
Would the left hand thread have anything to do with the rotation of the belt? For example, if that tensioner siezed it wouldn't instantly unbolt itself and send everything into the stratosphere
You’ve definitely been overthinking this scenario for a long time😂 it’s a nissan cube not a dodge demon😝
@@spazzologist it has nothing to do with power. It about something spinning itself undone. Even my 1,5hp weed wacker has left hand thread to prevent the nut getting loose. And most likely this sowing machine spins faster than a American v8 so it might just be important.
I thought the exact same thing. That tensioner is going to remove itself if you are correct.
Yes, it can potentially unscrew itself, but maybe they used a thread locker.
Would be a problem if the bearing seized up, but so would a seized pulley.
I never thought that I would have so much fun watching two guys spray paint a cheap little Japanese nugget. I am amazed at how good that little thing came out. Well done gentlemen 😁.
“Everything i was” in the middle of the video got me going ❤️
Amazing to see what some TLC and simple mods can do to restore a car to its former glory! CSM
I supplement my disability pension doing cheap headlight refurbs. For bad ones, I start with wet sanding with 800 grit wet and dry to get the yellow off, then 2000 grit to get it flat again, then polish (just use a rag and lean into it if you don't have a buffer,) and then I hit it with 303 UV Protectant. I found clear coating after polishing often dries weird and mucks up light throw, which matters more in country areas like where I am. The 303 lasts about 12 months and you just give it another spray. If the customer wants to pay for it, a clear tint over the lights gives best and longest lasting UV protection.
Dude, Moog, my boy, that track in the background of your synopsis was fire. I need to find that!
Sneakers on the Ground (ft. Erin Renee & Glenn Howard) by Moog
@@TheCrazyBird844 You saved me a bunch of searching. What a hero
I don't think you will find that, is just one of those random pieces of audio Moog makes that are not part of a full song, he does it all the time.
I wanted to know too. I think it may be Everything I Was, by Moog and Mark Agustin. Erin Rene and Mark on vocals. Circa 2012.
@@W2APS Wrong percussion/tempo. But similar, I guess ^^
I just seen 5 moogs in one shot. I don't think I'll recover, that was scary. 1 is enough for me haha 🤣
Mighty Car Mods and sound of Heroes of Might and Magic, that's a combination you'd not expect 👌.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who noticed!
So good Dave is getting the love he deserves from the boys and the channel supporting the locals!!!!
Many years I anticipated a collab between MCM and Custom Spray Mods. Why did it take so long? Lol 😆
I could swear he was here in the past as well
You're about 2 months late, he was already on the channel when Moog was fixing that white Corolla.
@@SteveBlues87 Im pretty sure that Marty went into VG auto paints a few years back. Not sure who served him though.
@@joealex65 Yeah he was on another one, and I think I made the same comment lol
That focus pulling at 1 minute and a half: Chef's Kiss!!
Anyone else loving seeing more of Isaac?
His way of talking and delivering information itches my accoustic brain
10/10 love him!
This is just amazing! Thank you for bringing it back. Cubes are one of those cars that Im obsessed with but never had the means to get one. Hopefully someone enjoys this unit for years to come!
Need to have a look at the Vice Grip Garage method for covering tyre for painting the rims. He uses a rubbish bag with a hole in it.
You'd never believe it, until you're lookin right at it
These collabs with Dave have been good stuff!
It looks a bit like a G-Wagon that got left out in the rain, and shrunk. But it is a cute little car.
That is THE best looking Cube I’ve seen. I’ve always had a little corner in my heart that they tucked into, but this one is something I would be proud to own. Good job boys!
Remember seeing this car and kit in the mags back in the day - thought it looked awesome, then was sorely disappointed by what landed in the US. What a blast from the past, and way to go saving another cool nugget!!
MCM gotta keep saving these old cars. Yall are doing the lords work helping people get affordable vehicles that still have style❤!
Gawt dayng some of the mcm uploads hit at just the right time
@mightycarmods at first i wasn’t a fan of another nugget build but going through this video.. i love it.. i love the new look of this cube…and how simple things are needed to bring it back to life..
Being inspired from all these builds.. my mate and I bought a 2010 Hyundai i45 and we are fixing it up by all that we learned from your shows..
3:35 - Is that some HOMM3 music mixed in?
Was gonna comment the same
I was about to ask the same
Sound when You start next week. My fav game of all time
Glad I wasn't the only one to pick this
Tip for gasket making an old boy taught me - Place your gasket paper on the top of the surface needing the gasket. Use the ball end of a ball-peen hammer and gently tap around the edges and on the holes. The edges will cut the gasket. No marking/tracing required!
@18:31 you missed a spot, a big spot 🤣🤣🤣
Someone touched the fog light cover while it was still wet as well don't tell anyone
@@GrimReaper...I think he meant the splooge on the dash.
VHT vinyl and plastic dye could fix that i reckon
@@mediocreman2 that's why I said as well
Worlds best Nissan Cube content youtube channel out there.
I liked the rego check on the Cube:
“Inconsistent odometer reading”
2024 = 204,694km
2023 = 1,999,937km
My guess is someone fat fingered the input a bit and typo'd an extra 9 in there lol
Moog, you gotta start linking which of your songs are used in your vids. Your work is 🔥!
What a nuggety nugget😂
The face of happiness is all i came to see. 😊
Having mates like the MCM bros have really makes you feel like you can do anything, and handle anything that goes wrong.
Cheers to you, MCM plus each and every friend whose wrenched along with them!
Cool music as always Moog, The rap has been good aswell
This is the kind of Mighty car mods i grew up with. From a honda civic with a fake turbo noises in a driveway to this. Love the videos man. Thank you guys for going back to the roots.
I'm surprised Moog hasn't mentioned anything about the Cube Pubes. (It's a thing)
MCM/Moog always delivering absolute bangers for their episodes. Legends
And seriously Moog, when are you making the MCM soundtrack available to buy?!
2:11 sounds like you're painting warhammer. Love the nuggets keep it coming, and give marty my love.
you can’t polish a turd….. but you can dip it in glitter !!😂
love the fleck in the bar mate, good call. im going always put fleck in the bar from now on
So glad to have a car with actual glass headlights.
He even said gotta sand off the dead yellow plastic. Glass doesn't turn yellow
@@nightowl760 No it does not! =)
It's been said 8 cubillion times, but Moog's music is one of the best parts of the show. I particularly liked the track playing during the supercharger rebuild around the 5 minute mark
Where is Martin?
Europe
Having a break after holding the fort while Moog was filming topgear.
The basement 👀
Under the patio 😇
Issac is a gem. Love seeing him in the vids.
anybody else wish they did this better
Yeah 💯 percent the bumper was ordinary the pulley repair screw was clearly bent etc worse MCM video ever which still means better than most RUclips channels but yeah disappointing
Just hit me today how long I've been watching, thanks for doing what you do. Life would be very very odd without MCM.
A fine job that Moog. The lil' toaster looked a bit sorry for itself, but came up looking half decent in the end. Wheel colour was a good one too. Love these little cars and great to see one on the channel at last!
Great job. Nothing over the top, everything achievable. Budget friendly… cutting corners in the best way.
I was hoping y’all would do a makeover on a Honda Element. Make it all time four wheel drive, upgrade the suspension, throw on a turbo and take it rallying seeing as you’re the #1 four wheel drive channel. But I learned you never got them down under. I guess this will have to do.
having a paint/body guy to just knock out an entire refresh in a day is a helluva mate to have
The fact that you guys bought the biggest nuggety smelly poo goat box on marketplace but turned it into a straight up fire no cap slay lit low-key legit dope blueberry dog freaking yassified production is why I keep watching after 15 years!
I hated those wheels in black, but they are absolutely brilliant in bronze!
That was a heap of work for that car, but it turned out looking great!
Vice Grip Garage has the best way to paint wheels using a garbage bag. I havent really seen anything as easy or superior. Should give it a look dudes. This car is so hillarious lol cant wait to hear the supercharger whine!!
really really really need a MCM poster with the cube on, would make a cube fanatic such a happy guy!
Gee the music soundtrack was just brilliant for these two episodes 👌 You need a Spotify channel so I can drive to these banger tunes!
I really wish we got this gen in the states. I love the look of the front. Excellent transformation as always!
I had already given up on how the car would look considering the broken bumper and the paint but Dave you showed what can be done without a complete respray! What a legend!
Been so awesome watching y’all do your thing all these years. I hope y’all know how much we appreciate the time and effort and keeping your content on a free to watch platform. Thanks again MCM!!!
Looks awesome. Obviously there was a lot of mechanical work that would be challenging for the weekend mechanic; however, it does not diminish the achievement of restoring this vehicle.
I’ve always liked the Nissan cube. It’s no good for my lifestyle needs but you guys have made a SH1773R look great again. 👍
Nuggets are where MCM shines. I hope you never stop working on JDM nuggets.
Seriously, car goes from a scrap pile to decent looking and sounding thing. Great work!
Great Job kind of reminds me of a smaller G-Wagon, hats off to Dave and Isaac too
-insert goat noise- I want those wheels..! They look too good! Blair you sure have done your best getting that pile fixed the way it does now! Outstanding honestly, with the help of mates ofcourse, great job Isaac and Dave for sure! -goatnoise- for the flake on the rear bumper and foglight caps! Nah I'm just kidding, quirkyness fits a quirky car for sure! Martin and Blair, either of you will probably read this i know but, honestly, will you both never ever stop making this show! This sure inspires soo many in the DIY and automotive! That reminds me I have to still fix my own pile.. I mean car! Love it or hate it, your own creation, daily, thrashbox or how ever you call it is still something you cherrish, never let that go! Thanks guys, you both are the best!
I Love this channel, I love that we get such great content with such great variety and all we have to do is watch some ads. No paywalls, no subscriptions or limitations due to regions.
Keep it up, I hope to get the opportunity to meet and thank you both in real life some day, thank you both of you, and all of you friends :)
I like how well used the space is inside a cube... keen to get one as a daily
Need to sort that stain on the dash where cups have been put
I’d love to see a “catch and release” series
I’m loving this Catch and Release series. Some of my favorite other channels are ones like Vicegrip who do the same type of thing. Why buy new when you can save and improve cool old stuff.
The MCM content always delivers so well! The time and effort you all put in is astounding! I can recommend an awesome nugget, MAZDA 2 DE 1.5 SPORT. Superbly capable little car!
For the OG viewers from year 1 MCM, can we do a throwback series filmed on the floor of Martin's Mom's garage where it all started with only the tools and manual jack stands available to MCM at that point in time.
Erin has such a beautiful voice, amazing talent.
so nice to see you still working on jdm nuggets with all these ''backyard'' upgrades almost 15 years later my man you're a legend! keep on the great content, big love from montreal✌
i've always loved the cubes. they're cool, cute little cars and don't look half bad.
The music at 3:44 giving me Heroes of might and magic 3 vibes. Love it.
Tbh, I know you'll probably get rid of the thing, but it looks great. It's such a cool / unique little car, would be interesting to see ya'll do it up even more. Engine swap it, etc.
I love I-Sacs attitude. This was a fun build
I know its a weird little car but its so quirky, its interesting. I have always loved them. Cant say I love the cvt though. Nice work on this little car, it turned out amazing!
It’s so good to hear your back catalogue being played in these last couple of videos. I pretty much every time I jump into the car play the Moog radio station on iTunes, I even used words from your music to try win the day with you guys as my 25 words or less 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
3:37 A bit off context , but i got goosebumps when in new videos starts playing some OG Mcm music like this 🔥🤙🏼
The bronze wheels look great. Definitely prefer a metallic to black, especially bronze and gold.
Next time try the Vice Grip Garage wheel painting method. Use a garbage bag. Take a corner of the bag. Pull it tight like a rope. Hold it from the center of the wheel out to the edge. Cut that length off. Creates a perfect circle hole in the bag. Stretch it around the wheel. This let's you paint the edge of the wheel that you dont get when the cards are up against the edge.
Well done, a proper refresh.
I loved this mini series! i recently bought my own JDM run down ugget to save. I got a MKI Daihatsu Move that runs but needs work, been reversed into a pole in it's past! still has the boot dented badly. i love odd ball cars and JDM cars are the best for it!
